I'll Regret It All In The Morning
Whiskey-Induced Regret: A Morning After Reflection
Lyrics
Whiskey helps to clear my head
Whiskey helps me to think more clearly.
Bring it with you into bed
Intimacy and whiskey are combined in bed.
If I beat you nearly dead
Even if I harm you severely, I'll regret it later.
I'll regret it all in the morning
Anticipating remorse in the morning for actions taken.
I'm so drunk I couldn't care
Intoxication leads to indifference.
If that's a wig or your own hair
Unconcerned about superficial things like a wig or real hair.
Here's my ticket, take me there
Offering a ticket to escape.
I'll regret it all in the morning
Awareness of future regret despite current actions.
I'll regret it all in the morning
Reiteration of anticipating regret in the morning.
When I see your smiling face
Expectation of regret upon seeing a beloved's happy expression.
I'd rather be in any place but here
Desire to be anywhere but in the present situation.
The years have left their mark
Physical and emotional scars from past experiences.
Your skin feels smooth as bark
Comparing skin texture to rough bark.
As we shiver in the dark
Both feeling vulnerable in darkness.
I'll regret it all in the morning
Expecting regret despite the current situation.
As you gaze around in fright
Observing fear and distress in your gaze.
With your knuckles turning white
Noticing stress through clenched fists.
You're a lonely, lonely sight
Feeling pity for your lonely appearance.
To wake up to in the morning
Waking up to a lonely sight in the morning.
This is no way to exist
Feeling dissatisfied with the current way of living.
With a girl who keeps a list
A partner who keeps track of past relationships.
Naming all the boys she's missed
Listing past lovers and longing for them.
And she's longed for in the morning
Longing for this partner in the morning.
I'll regret it all in the morning
Reiteration of expecting regret in the morning.
When I see your smiling face
Expecting regret upon seeing a beloved's happy expression.
I'd rather be in any place but here
Desire to be anywhere but in the present situation.
Now the room is spinning fast
Feeling disoriented due to intoxication.
And it fades away at last
Intoxication wearing off as time passes.
And this empty night is past
The night of emptiness is coming to an end.
I'll regret it all in the morning
Expecting regret as the night ends.
